Yes but did that not involve some forward thinking clever marketing - to know for sure the teams at letter A that were 2-2 at half time did you not have to buy a program? I’m all nostalgic about but not hankering for the good old days of waiting for a pink paper van outside the newsagent on a Saturday night to read reports and scores or standing outside the window of the tv shop to see the scores flash across the teleprinter on screen. :greengrin

They can show live, but then if the feed source goes to a replay, they tend to stick a logo over the screen instead. Stops unintended VAR essentially.

Maybe different rules in the UK right enough?

[madhatter]

Surely what's going on the big screen is more important? My concerns around the plans is - you need to have spaces to put additional advertisements on etc. but without the desire for companies to get involved we could end up with redundant tech. I dont think this will happen especially if we push for it as companies tend to want to get their names everywhere and in front of 13k+ people every couple of weeks is a decent prospect. Television is still what holds us back though, you need your stadium to be reaching more people.

I'm still excited about all these plans but time will tell whether they become reality, and a positive reality at that.

Reckon this means the TV cameras for filming at our games will go back to being in the East stand looking onto the West if that's where the digital ribbons will be for maximum coverage? Assuming theyll just be going between the two tiers which obviously isnt an option in the East

Don't they show replays of home goals at Ibrox?

Most of the state of the art English stadia, screens, beer, et al, are soulless bunkers with less atmosphere than the moon.

However, I do get that I'll be in a minority and probably rightly so.

I wouldn't have given the away fans those bloody waterproof ponchos either.

Reading show the game while it's ongoing but with a few seconds delay. They also show replays of goals and other incidents so it all works rather well

I've mentioned this several times before, but before each match they used to show a montage of iconic moments from their first promotion season (their 2016 moment) together with images of local landmarks accompanied by Clint Mansell's Lux Aeterna. The musical 'surge' was timed to coincide with the ball hitting the net from Bobby Convey's wonder goal that started the season off. I don't consider myself a Reading fan but I can't deny that got my juices flowing for the game ahead.

This is what the screen looks like in a stadium that's a similar size to ER.

If it goes in the SE corner will folk sitting in the East see it ok? I'd have thought having it "square on" to the pitch in the South stand would afford a better viewing angle - maybe at the side of the S Stand right next to the SE corner. Loss of "away" seats yes, but how many, and for how many matches is that stand full? (Esp as we'll not be playing Queen Anne's lot next season.)

Yes they do it at Ibrox and Parkhead. Depending on where you are seated at Parkhead the screen is the better option at times. As far as I’m aware they are not allowed to show replays of any incidents.

If this will generate future profit for us then great but other than that, not really sure it adds much if anything to match day experience really.

Does anyone really want to be sitting watching a screen during the game? Unless you're 6 and bored playing with an ipad or the likes.

Team line ups displayed on it pre match and what else?

Not against it at all as they've obviously done the sums but I personally dont see how this makes going to a game any better.

In all seriousness, they could get a pretty decent sized screen on their roof support structure that runs along the top of that stand. One at each end of the ground would work pretty well and mean that all fans would be able to see one of them. Probably better than they can see the pitch from some of their seats....

I heard it won’t play any video as such and will be static content.

So plenty of pictures of Hibs players but none of them actually scoring a goal.

It’s also going to have one of those levers/stand that push it out from the base and angle it towards certain bit of the ground. Like some people have at home but a bit bigger.

If the screen is not showing replays of contentious decisions from the current match or action replays of goals just scored then it is utterly pointless. All other things people have suggested it could show are all available on your handheld smart phone. Advertising you say. If it brings money in that will make it pay for itself then fair enough. Otherwise it offers no real justifiable value.

I’ve been to a lot of baseball games in the States, the big screens can be great, particularly in baseball where there are lots of breaks in play.

However, i’m quite surprised that not so long ago many people got bent out of shape at the thought of spending £1 million on a full size indoor pitch at East Mains, yet this seems to have great support.

Some of the baseball teams in America are over 100 years old and generating more money than our entire league, old-firm included. That sort of stuff is good enough for them.

We're also trying to attract younger people to the club and they see all that kind of stuff on social media and the telly so incorporating that into the matchday experience might be the difference in getting them to Easter Road rather than sitting at home watching teams from other countries on the telly.

It has to be situated between the east and south, coz if you put it between the FF and East only the west will have a good view of it. It seems wherever it goes the east is gonna be the stand that suffers and whatever happens the west will be in prime position, for obvious reasons though.

The best place for it would be slung under the roof of the south right at the front, or perhaps on top of it :greengrin

Slap bang behind the goals in the South sounds like the right place to me. Hang it from the roof and give the uglies a good old expensive restricted view of the wiring.

It also has to go in the corner of East and South no question, therefore giving the "best" views to all home stands. Would be stupid to put it next to the FF and give the 20 Ross county away fans prime viewing.

I'm all for us modernising the stadium, looking forward to it.

[SquashedFrogg]

Between East and South I believe.

Baws. I might need to move now for a better view. Fancy the FFL all of a sudden 😀

With the imminent "Americanisation" of the club, I'm looking forward to the barbecues in the car park..

[atomant]

And cheerleaders!!!!

So it’s no a tv screen just a big picture frame ?

Hope it's got an SD card slot so I can watch my photos on slideshow.

Hope it's got an SD card slot so I can watch my photos on slideshow.And a USB connection. I've got some films and a couple of seasons of House MD on a portable hard drive.

[Hibbyradge]

No but they do have high quality smaller digital scoreboards in each corner of the ground which relay any VAR outcomes.

This would be mandatory in the Premiership.

True

[Viva_Palmeiras]

I'm decidedly pro Ron Gordon and his investment plans and I'm sure his vision for the club and ER on match days is keeping in line with the fact that we're a Scottish football club of some 145 years standing not an entertainment franchise born the day before yesterday.

From "kiss cams" onwards in the quoted post would be far too far down the "americanisation" route for my liking :agree:

Wonder what happened to the guy at ER who’s girlfriend proposed to him - the announcer asked on her behalf but Kenny or Rab / whoever failed to respond so we never got to see how that panned out (badly probably)

[Seveno]

Will you be able to see the screen from the Skyview Restaurant at Tiny or will the Castle be in the way?

The big screen is not to watch the game. I’ve seen so many people say this. The big screen is there for revenue generation through advertising, to promote Hibs and Hibs products to the thousands that are in attendance at games, and to appeal to the younger generation that they might get shown on the big screen at the game thus deepening their connection with the club. It’s a money maker pure and simple.

Sponsors and commercial partners like them.

And young people.

All consistent with driving up attendance and revenue, as per the plan.

Just imagine its a wet Tuesday, we're 3 nil down at half time to Hamilton and you want to go home but realise you can wath rhe 2nd part of Corrie on the big screen to cheer you up. Meanwhile on the pitch Doiger hits a double hatrick and you missed all the goals because Sally and Gail were having a barney...

Plus, if Christiano Ronaldo ever plays at Easter Road, he'll be able to check to see if the cameras are focused on his best side.

Same probably applies to Kamberi.

It helps to remind you that you’re at the game, when you see yourself on it you can jump up and down and tell folk next to you that you’re on the screen.

[tamig]

If the screen is not showing replays of contentious decisions from the current match or action replays of goals just scored then it is utterly pointless. All other things people have suggested it could show are all available on your handheld smart phone. Advertising you say. If it brings money in that will make it pay for itself then fair enough. Otherwise it offers no real justifiable value.
And Ron being the successful businessman that he is has no doubt reached the same conclusion. No justifiable value but - what the heck - I’ll give them a big screen anyway.

If you look at the picture I posted in post#34, the big V on the right hand side is an advert for something called Volume. I still have no idea what they were selling but that image will have brought in a few thousand quid to the club.

The main picture shows the score between 'Ryan's Royals' and Blackburn. Ryan was a terminally ill youngster whose short life was made much happier though the club's engagement with him - a very worthy cause IMO and I'm sure he was absolutely thrilled to see that image.

Both sections change throughout the match with ads on the right and a delayed stream of the match on the left interspersed with birthday messages, some more ads and replays of major incidents. If something happens on the field that I didn't quite see or understand (increasingly likely at my age) I automatically look at the screen to see if a second viewing helps.

In short the screen brings in a lot of money for the club and enhances my matchday experience, it's just a shame that the fitba' on show isn't doing either right now (look at the 'crowd').

[PatHead]

All in favour of the big screen but in the winter /spring the sun often shines right into the East. Hope it doesn't spoil the image.

[norhfc]

The modern big screens can handle sun directly on it. I watched a few games of the last World Cup on one and it was pretty amazing in the sun.

Great. I would have hated to have the screen without being able to see it!

[04Sauzee]

This is how St Mirren make some money from their big screen

[ShottsBranch]

Is the screen installation still going to happen?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

No - money being diverted to build a plaza style areas for social distanced clapping sessions with options for triple cooked chips :)

Does it still make sense in the current climate? Possibly not until it’s clear what the deal will be with return to Stadium capacity.

Although is were ever going to do it perhaps now is a chance to do so at a knock-down price? But likely money best spent elsewhere.

[where'stheslope]

If I remember rightly, they used to show the goals after their games at Tynecastle on the screens in the concourse!
It caused no end of bother with people stopping to watch while others wanted out!!!

[Bishop Hibee]

Games to be projected onto Salisbury Crags so fans can watch socially distanced in Holyrood Park.

[AliboyFC]

Is there any updates on this big screen ? :confused:

[greenpaper55]

Anyone remember when Kenny Waugh introduced the half time scores via a code but you had to buy a programme to have the code ? i think it lasted about thirty seconds before the outcry was so great it was abandoned.

[BILLYHIBS]

Anyone remember the old guy that used to walk around the pitch with the blackboard at half-time with the ‘Lucky Programme Number’ on it ?

IIRC everyone used to throw the remains of their inedible pies at it :greengrin

Aye, there's been a bit of a bug going about. It's slowing down most Clubs plans - ask Professor Doctor Sir Ann if you don't believe me.

Prolonged, pointed dissatisfaction that just went on and on into the start of the second half. I used to stand in the North enclosure then and Waugh was beetroot. Pretty funny really and justified.

[Iggy Pope]

Golden Goal tickets. Imagine the rage now, 45+2 90+6. Throw a pie at that.

Can’t remember pies being thrown at club staff ever. My recollection is, close to the front, we were mostly concerned about catching the attention of the boys, trackside, to buy our spearmint gum, crisps or Mars bar.

Defo one of my early memories and more than likely coming from the opposition fans as the poor man had to walk all the way around the ash perimeter of the pitch

For the record I never threw a pie at anyone.......Well maybes John McDonald :greengrin

I can remember when a Sinclair C5 was driven slowly round the perimeter of the pitch at one home game only to be severely pied as it neared the tunnel. Quality marksmanship.

Why the hell someone thought it a good sales idea to bring a C5 to Easter Road I have no idea unless there was Peruvian marching powder involved.

A dark day for millionaire computer genius Clive Sinclair. The Hibs support were never appreciative of innovation. Reaction to the half-time majorette displays was similar. Grown men shouting lascivious remarks at young schoolgirls. Oh yes!
